<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/buypartisan\/id882404352?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Buypartisan<\/a>. \u00a0The app that helps &#8220;make every day election day&#8221; \u00a0through &#8220;spending choices&#8221;. \u00a0It lets you scan a product&#8217;s barcode to get information on which political party the company&#8217;s CEO, Board of Directors and employees donate to. \u00a0Reviews of the app can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2014\/08\/13\/now-you-can-bring-the-stifling-joylessness-of-modern-political-life-to-the-grocery-store\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ijreview.com\/2014\/08\/167159-buy-can-political\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> or at many places <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=funny+beer+labels&amp;hl=en&amp;site=imghp&amp;source=lnms&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=_NvsU7jhE4SUyATZv4HgCA&amp;ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&amp;biw=1600&amp;bih=775&amp;dpr=1#hl=en&amp;q=buypartisan+app\" target=\"_blank\">via google.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So this app should do two things to create more angry people &#8211; first there will be more people clogging the aisles at your favorite grocery outlet on their smartphones. \u00a0That&#8217;s not gonna make anyone happy. \u00a0Then, those people using the app will be ticked when they realize the CEO of the company that makes their favorite cornflakes donates money to the &#8220;wrong&#8221; party. \u00a0I predict, chaos, mayhem and mass hysteria.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/want-make-miserable-theres-app\/credible-hulk\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1413\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1413\" src=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/credible-hulk.jpeg\" alt=\"credible hulk\" width=\"497\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/credible-hulk.jpeg 497w, https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/credible-hulk-150x102.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/credible-hulk-300x205.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Politics is not unimportant, but we are all more than simply our political identity. \u00a0At some point you have to distance yourself from political considerations and just live your life. \u00a0Life is not a zero sum game. \u00a0Money flows where money flows. \u00a0Sometimes you just have to let it be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet One way to make yourself miserable is to stay angry and agitated all the time. \u00a0And one way to do that is to stay focused on politics all the time. \u00a0Personally, I think that&#8217;s a bad idea and I say that as someone who&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1412"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1416,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1412\/revisions\/1416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
